We try to get all kinds of people involved
not just people who are into cycling already,
but anybody that’s got a bike, they can come down
and ride around a traffic-free environment
and have fun.

Get them interested in things that are healthy
so they can think about being fit
and so they do the running
and I think cycling
is a great way to stay fit as well.
To get people back on their bikes
and give them that confidence to realise, that you know
they may not have ridden a bike for a number of years,
most people can ride bikes, most now have bikes
but it’s about having the confidence and that,
just getting back and using it again.

Like, Sky Riders is the social side,
you know everybody’s having fun, it’s showing
that cycling doesn’t have to be done by yourself,
in a lonely pursuit
it can be a really fun thing to do
with your family, with your friends
and you know, it’s such a great atmosphere today
and obviously it’s a way to try and kick start that enthusiasm
to get them to go back on their bikes.

Hopefully, encourage them to use their bikes
on a more regular basis, you know,
they’d be riding to work or riding to school
or just doing it for fun or for leisure.
